VFD Lyrics

Had a big fire last week down on a ranch just south of town

Caught us in the draw, we almost died trying to beat the flames back down

Seemed like there was no way out, must confess I had my doubts

Said a little prayer, braced myself for the pain

I was calling on Jesus, busting through a wall of flames

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes

I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby

It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD

It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

Work day and night, risk our lives and get no pay

But that's alright, it ain't about the money anyway

Never know when you're gonna get the call, just might have to risk it all

But it's all in a day's work, working for the VFD

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes

I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby

It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD

It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

And one of these days I just might have to risk it all

I got a sweet little lady waiting at home for me

Sometimes her prayers are the only thing keeping me alive

It's all in a day's work, working for the VFD

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes

I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby

It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD

It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

Hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

God bless the men and women of the VFD
